How much does the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe cost?

Prices have softened 12.26% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,893 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare trims and conditions.

If you find a listing below $15,115.45, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe earns a 4.85/5 user rating and an 8.17/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Technology and Safety.

Owners consistently praise its value, safety features, and comfort, and they also highlight the spacious interior and ride quality. That lines up with its use case as a value-focused crossover that gives you more presence than a compact SUV without stepping all the way up to a larger midsize model.

The market also reflects that appeal, with 33.1% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe reliable?

Owners rate it 4.85/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a dependable-feeling ownership experience, with praise for value, comfort, and the kind of everyday usability that helps a vehicle feel easy to count on. The expert evaluation also describes it as a solid value with composed driving manners and strong overall execution.

You should still pay close attention to maintenance history and battery condition, since some owners mention occasional reliability concerns. For a used buyer, that means the biggest long-term risk is not the platform itself but the condition of the specific example you choose.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe?

At 72.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing price looks unusually attractive. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, and whether the vehicle’s equipment and wear match the mileage.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base SE trim comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, high-beam assist, power heated side mirrors, LED daytime running lights, manual seats, and remote keyless entry, while higher trims add features like fog lights, heated front seats, push-button start, parking sensors, dual automatic climate control, a premium audio system, a panoramic sunroof, leather seating, rain-sensing wipers, memory settings, heated rear seats, and ventilated front seats.
• Powertrain: All trims use a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine with 185 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque, while the Limited and Ultimate can be had with a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder making 235 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. The base engine is described as sluggish, while the turbo is praised for strong acceleration.
• Safety package: Hyundai Smart Sense includes forward-collision avoidance, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, and rear cross-path detection. Safe Exit Assist is also standard, and it ties the rear child-proof locks to blind-spot monitoring.
• Infotainment: The base SE gets a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and a USB port. SEL and above add satellite radio, HD Radio, and BlueLink with Alexa integration, while the Ultimate upgrades to an 8-inch touchscreen, a head-up display, and wireless charging.
• Fuel efficiency: The front-wheel-drive 2.4-liter version is rated at 22 mpg city, 29 highway, 25 combined. The AWD turbo version is rated at 19 mpg city, 24 highway, 21 combined.

Which 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe trim should I buy?

The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe is offered in 5 trim levels: SE, SEL, SEL Plus, Limited, and Ultimate.

Here's the short version:

• SE: This is the value play if you want the lowest entry price but still want a lot of standard equipment, including a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, LED daytime running lights, and key safety tech. It is the best-value trim for shoppers who care most about price and core features.
• SEL: This trim adds heated front seats, an 8-way power driver’s seat, fog lights, and push-button start, making it a smart step up if you want more everyday comfort without jumping too far in price.
• SEL Plus: This is the sweet spot if you want the best blend of value and features, since it adds 18-inch wheels, parking sensors, rear-occupant alert, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 630-watt Infinity audio system.
• Limited: This trim moves you into a more premium feel with full LED lighting, chrome exterior details, a panoramic sunroof, and leather seating. It makes sense if you want a more upscale cabin and exterior presentation.
• Ultimate: This is the most fully equipped choice, adding rain-sensing wipers, memory settings, heated front and rear seats, ventilated front seats, a head-up display, wireless charging, and the larger 8-inch touchscreen. It suits you if you want the most comfort and convenience features.

Safe Exit Assist is standard, and it ties the rear child-proof locks to blind-spot monitoring.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market.

• Deal availability: 33.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,893 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.26% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 72.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $15,115.45, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe's resale value?

The current average of $15,158 sits slightly below last year's $17,276.

That price movement suggests the model has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help future resale stability if you buy at the right price. If you choose a clean, well-maintained example, you may have less downside risk than a buyer who paid closer to the original market peak.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.85/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe safe?

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Hyundai Smart Sense is the standard driver-assistance suite, and it includes forward-collision avoidance, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, and rear cross-path detection. Safe Exit Assist is also standard, and it adds a useful layer of protection when you’re parked in tight spaces or near traffic.

The Santa Fe also comes with a full array of front- and side-impact airbags, a reversing camera, and a tire pressure monitoring system. That said, you should still verify the exact equipment on any used example, since condition and trim can affect how complete the ownership experience feels.

Should I buy a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 33.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 72.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.26% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.85/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It offers a value-focused crossover layout with strong safety features and easy-to-use technology.

Consider the 2018 if:

• At $14,435, the 2018 costs less than the current year's $15,158 average.
• It is a bargain-minded, safe, roomy family crossover.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $16,895, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $15,158 average.
• It adds a standard rear-seat reminder and an available camera-based Blind-Spot View Monitor.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, features, and broad appeal, the 2019 is the strongest all-around pick. If your budget is tighter, the 2018 can save you money, while the 2020 makes sense if you want the newer updates and are willing to pay more.
